ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Investigators are looking into who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit's Wikipedia entry to mention his wife's death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.
Benoit's Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.
A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said Thursday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Connecticut, where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.
An IP address, a unique series of numbers carried by every machine connected to the Internet, does not necessarily have to be broadcast from where it is registered. The bodies were found in Benoit's home in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, and it's not known where the posting was sent from, Bass said.

This is going to be interesting. Who knew, how did they know, how are they connected to the WWE?
pretty creepy
I wonder if the person who made the entry got Sherri Martel and Nancy Benoit mixed up.

It’s Wikipedia - anyone can write anything. That’s a load of crap.
Exactly. Wiki and its writers make stuff up all the time, now they want us to believe this? No way. Tin foil hat staying on! ;o)
